2.9.2 Rerange the transmitter
The range values command sets each of the lower and upper range analog values to a pressure. The
lower range point represents 0 percent of range and the upper range point represents 100 percent of
range. In practice, the transmitter range values may be changed as often as necessary to reflect
changing process requirements. For a complete listing of Range and Sensor limits, refer to “Ordering
Information, Specifications, and Drawings” on page 69.
Select from one of the methods below to rerange the transmitter. Each method is unique; examine all
options closely before deciding which method works best for your process.
Rerange by manually setting range points with a Field Communicator, AMS Device Manager, or LOI.
Rerange with a pressure input source and a Field Communicator, AMS Device Manager, LOI, or local
zero and span buttons.
